FINANCIAL AID

The Financial Aid Office offers a number of scholarships for full-time and part-time students at all levels of education.

Caskey Center for Church Excellence

The Caskey Center provides full tuition scholarships for Baptist bivocational/ small church ministers from selected states. These scholarships apply to certificate, undergraduate, or master's students in any NOBTS delivery system.

Baptist College Partnership Program

Through the BCPP, those with undergraduate hours in religion may be eligible for a head start on graduate studies. Students can test out or take seminars for up to 37 hours of master's level credit, while paying a greatly reduced cost for these courses.

Monthly Payment Plans

Instead of paying for seminary up front each semester, NOBTS offers a monthly payment plan that divides tuition into more manageable installments.

Student Housing

NOBTS has affordable campus housing options for single students, married couples, and families with rates that are typically half the cost of living in the city.

OUR VIDEO REEL

Where need
meets opportunity

As a major port city, New Orleans is home to people from across the globe, but only a small minority identify as evangelical Christians. As you train for a lifetime of ministry at NOBTS, we encourage you to get your hands dirty in a city that is in desperate need of the gospel.
